Fall Events You Can’t Miss at Stone Mountain Park

As the leaves fall and temperatures drop, fall is the perfect season to be outdoors for some family fun.

September

Yellow Daisy Festival

Bring the whole family to “shop ‘til you drop” at the 51st Annual Yellow Daisy Festival! This award-winning festival brings in hundreds of artists, crafters, jewelers, woodworkers, and more! Think of it as if Etsy were to come to life.

Besides shopping from the huge selection of exquisite handmade items, there will be live music and entertainment, and a variety of lip-smacking cooking and southern treats. Be sure to swing by the legendary Bubba’s Sweet Tea and get a tin mug of the famous beverage. You can bring back your mug for years to come for a $1.00 refill! This is just one of the delicious stops in the food courtyard you’ll have to make.

The best part is that the festival is free with a parking pass! Visit the Yellow Daisy page for more information.
